  That certainly looks suspicious. If I am ever in the market for a major key like this coin I'm only looking for ones slabbed in one of the MAJOR TPG.

  Looks more like a small rabbit hole than a "D."

  Good catch Patches. Some guy "sonically seals" a fake in his basement and sells it as real....not cool. Reported.

  I just got an email from the seller and she assures me it is genuine because the person she got it from would NEVER sell a fake or altered coin......
